Police have recovered a body found floating in a retention pond near a submerged car.

A passerby discovered the body floating in the pond around 7:30 a.m. Friday in a subdivision near the intersection of 76th Street and Kraft Avenue in Caledonia.

According to WZZM-13, a woman tried to rescue the victim, identified as an elderly man, but he was already deceased.

It is believed that the man drove into the pond overnight, and that a medical condition may have caused the incident.
